I discovered this book, written by an 'escaper' Pat Reid, a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it - it's an amazing story and laugh out loud funny in places (the barber incident for those who might have read it)... The follow up 'The Latter Days at Colditz' is a bit harder going, but still entertaining.

I'd put it sort of in the same category of entertainment as the David Niven book 'The Moon's a Balloon', which is a firm favorite of mine (after discovering it on here).

Any suggestions what to read next in the same vein? Non-fiction, entertaining and even slightly swashbuckling I'd guess!
